Did you ever really understand that "saying?" I know that I didn't until maybe today. I wanted to share a few random thoughts that came to mind as I reflected on this "cliche" today.
I invite you, in turn to share some of your own. Posting a comment on the blog is a little confusing, but if you just hang with it..you will get there. A good hint to know is that google would like your username to be your email address. That makes it all easier.
Anyway..when I was younger I had the desperate wish every night to have a later bedtime....now I have the same desperation to climb into bed earlier.........
I used to see "naps" as insulting and something that "babies" took. Now I see clearly that rest and relaxation in the middle of the day are a divine gift and should be consumed as tho they were the nectar of the Gods!
In my youth I couldn't wait to lose my teeth so I could get money.....now I pray over my teeth so that I will not have to pay money!
My early adulthood was a myriad of pursuing "grown up things"
I couldn't wait to get on my own, make money and sit down and know the independence of writing checks out to pay my own bills! Today I am overwhelmed at the process and try to set everything up on line automatically so that I can forget that I even have bills...
I used to spend so much time caring about the "Jones'" in my life....now I spend a lot more time caring for the "Jones'" in my world
I used to feel like household chores were a hassle I had to finagle to get done in a hurry...now with so many friends sick and disabled I feel blessed that I am able to do them and manage my home myself.
I used to worship weekly as a young mother because I thought God would be mad at me if I didn't, now I feel priveledged to be there because I know it pleases God and strengthens me when I do :)
Your turn........................
